Hey everyone,
I've been building these builds for a long time now. I started small and hardly had anything different from the original CM ROM when I started. Now I have CM with Pie and HALO as well as many other small tweaks. I used to focus on the Audio Aspect but now I care more about performance. We already have another CM based ROM that has Viper Audio so I'll just stick with DSP Based Awesome Beats. That was my classic setup so we'll stick with it. 4.3 Audio has never been as good as the 4.2.2 that I used to build unfortunately hence why my new focus is performance. For the record, I use Poweramp Pro now and I enjoy having the Equalizer built into the app. Works great!
Here is how my ROM differs from CM:
- My builds are ALL built with Linaro 4.8.3 for the ROM and Linaro 4.7.4 for the Kernel.
- BLUE THEMED ICON SET
- AWESOME 1.8 GHz Kernel (see here for more details)
- HALO ))) with extended Color options
- PIE Control (also with Color options)
- Modded Trebuchet from sgt7 github
- More Animation options (.25 and .75)
- Additional build.prop and init.d tweaks for better speed and sound.
- AWESOME BEATS
- Zero Lag!
- SONY WALKMAN (Optional)
- Consider Using Nova Launcher for additional speed

All builds on DevDB which you can find by clicking here
Flashable bootanimation! - This is so you can replace the bootanimation after installing other kernels. All credit goes to @mhassan11x! He not only made the boot animation but he also made this flashable boot animation reinstall kit for us.
Flashable Walkman for use in other ROMs.
Other builds can be found at goo.im/devs/Cl3Kener
Installation instructions
1. For best results a FULL wipe is required. Please back up your ROM before you begin!!!
2. Download any of the above links and latest JB 4.3.x Gapps
3. Reboot into recovery with TWRP 2.6.1.0
4. Flash the ROM
5. Flash Gapps
6. Flash WALKMAN (Link above and it's optional)
7. Reboot
8. Install Trickster MOD from Play store so you can tweak the kernel settings the way you like. Performance menu works but does not allow you to tweak all options.
For an upgrade to newer version you can "dirty flash" although you will need to fix file permissions afterwards. I recommend using ROM Manager because it does the most thorough job!.
